How to make Protein Porridge
Step 1: In a medium saucepan, combine the organic rolled oats, vanilla whey isolate, collagen peptides, flax meal, psyllium husk, sea salt, and almond milk. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Step 2: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and have absorbed most of the liquid, about 10-12 minutes.
